Yu Yuen Man (b. 2000, lives and works in Hong Kong) explores existential consciousness, life, and transience through the fluidity of perception and the contradictions of existence. By transforming subjectivity and spatial imagery, she creates temporal spaces that transcend time, physical reality, and self-identity. Through everyday elements and their cycles of decay and renewal, her practice reveals the profound complexity of being and the inner essence of the universe.
While the Phantom series (2022–2025) merges Eastern Daoist and Buddhist philosophy with Western tragic perspectives to examine the fundamental nature of life, her practice continues to evolve through another interconnected body of work. Building upon this foundation, she is now exploring how the primitivity of life coexists and symbiotically connects with the highly developed civilized world.
Growing up amid pervasive technology and global mobility — where virtual and physical realities constantly intersect — her works invite reflection on self-identity, multicultural belonging, and the vital role of sensation and enlightenment in human experience. Her practice engages themes of memory, existence, nature, identity, civilization, and culture.
